Re: [BlindHandyMan] Hi there. A new member and blind professional at your ser...
thanks for your email and interest in my chainsaw work I use some of the techniques which you describe as well as a lot of my own skills including using the front and back handles as rotation sense to work out the angle of the blade in terms of a cut or sculpt, running the main handle on its own for the stihl ms170 for skinning, running the back handle to control feeding the blade and moving it back and forth to gauge penetration of the blade. at no time do I have any contact with the blade arm. when carving I always use the judgement of the trigger being directly inline with the bar of the machine. so its a good guideline and listening to the sound of the cut to the amount I'm cutting in or through. for more tips please get in touch and I'll post more lew [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The New Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following Address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

[BlindHandyMan] Dipsticks
Well, it's xmas in October here, I got the air compressor from Harbor Freight yesterday. It needed some assembly, but it was pretty straight forward as these things go. The thing takes something like 25 ounces of motor oil, and as a convenience to the sighted, there's a viewing window To more easily facilitate keeping the oil level right. Of course, that means there's no dipstick. So, can any of you folks suggest good material to make a dipstick with? I'm thinking pipe cleaners, but that's just my first guess.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] different question on smoke alarms
Brice, There are major and many small ones that specilize in fire and security alarms. I believe most residental systems are just a series of interconnected alarms without any central control station. If that is your case most electricians should be able to service them for you. If alll are none functional you may have a circuit breaker turned off.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Dipsticks
Bill, What ise is a soda straw or small diameter flexible hose. Insert it into the fill hole start blowing into it while lowering. When you hear bubbles, stop and mark with tape. Next time if you goe below the tape line you need some. Do your directions call for a oil change after the first hundred hours of running like mine did? Yeah I know a little difficult to figure when that magic number has ran, but I would think that is approximate.

[BlindHandyMan] A couple of things.
About the Houston gathering, we may not be in the El Paso room. The room they have us in is called the Galveston room. This is not set in cement yet, I am still in a debate with the hotel about it so, stay tuned. If we are forced to make the change the Galveston room is the next one down the same hall so, really no problem. At press time I am holding an announcement about another luminary who has decided to join our little groupe but, as for now, my lips are sealed. By the way, the seldom scored on, undefeated Lufkin panthers ar playing on e s p n two this evening at six central. See you in Houston, Phil.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Dipsticks
A suggestion I have for this is a long thin section of metal say about 2 mill thick by 4 mill wide by about 12 inch long. start marking at certain points say every half inch with a blade taking a cut into the metal of a few strikes. then using a wine bottle cork drill into it say about 3 mill diameter through the center and slide the rod through it so you can use the foot of the cork as a stopper above the cap of the compresser chamber. I use this method all the time with my tiger compressor. its a heavy duty machine and a real beast. I always keep the oil bottle next to the machine at all times and my hoses on a rack next to the compressor and my air tools on a service board on the wall above the motor of the compressor. lew [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The New Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following Address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

[BlindHandyMan] Furnace issue.
Just an informative note more than a question. On Tuesday evening, Teresa and I arrived home from work. As we started to prepare dinner, Teresa mentioned that she was cold. I realized that it was a bit chilly in the house so I went over to the spiffy talking thermostat and punched the info button. It announced that the house temperature was 63 degrees and the thermostat was set to 69 degrees. That is a problem. I went to the basement and pulled the cover off the bottom of the furnace and carefully slid my hand in, feeling for the heat of the pilot light. Nothing. I also noticed that the igniter was going crazy clicking very rapidly. I couldn't remember the process for lighting the pilot so called Teresa down. She read the instructions off the side of the furnace which included: Set thermostat below ambient temperature Turn off power to the furnace Turn off the gas via the little nobby job on the furnace wait a few minutes. Turn nobby thing to pilot hold in button next to nobby thing and light the pilot with a match Continue holding button for one minute turn nobby thing to gas Turn power to the furnace back on.

Do your directions call for a oil change after the first hundred hours of running like mine did?

It needed some assembly, but it was pretty straight forward as these things go. The thing takes something like 25 ounces of motor oil, and as a convenience to the sighted, there's a viewing window To more easily facilitate keeping the oil level right. Of course, that means there's no dipstick. So, can any of you folks suggest good material to make a dipstick with? I'm thinking pipe cleaners, but that's just my first guess.

[BlindHandyMan] The experience
About 4 years ago we sold our home in the city and moved to the country. Every since I have the pleasure of doing thing, I normally would not have to do. Yesterday was one of those days. After 4 years of my wife beating the blades on our tractor to death, I decided it was time to take the blades off the mower deck and get them sharpen. So off came the deck and a good cleaning was needed. So out came the wire brush, plastic putty knife and I went to work. Now to turn that hundred pound plus monstrosity over was a job in itself. Finely with the help of my wife, it was finally on its back. More cleaning was to be done. Than I found the nuts holding the three blades were larger than any socket or box wrench I had. Didn't want to chew up the nuts, so a trip to Harbor Freight was in order. The cheapest large socket set my wife seen was $30 without a breaker bar. I felt around and pulled out a 16 inch piece set that was way in the back of the shelve and ask her what it was. Here things started to get better. It was a $30 set marked down to $18. Found a 18 inch breaker bar for $9 and was on my way to remove the blades. I sought. I still couldn't break the nuts loose, nor could I figure out if the nuts were counter-clock-wise or not and my wife said she couldn't tell. So she got out the manual and said that I should put a wooden block right there. Well if the block had to go there, than the nut had to be turned that way. Clock wise. Now I knew I had it made and soon the blades would be removed. Wrong. Out came the WD 40 and still the nuts wouldn't move. I sought for sure I was going to have to take that whole deck, blades and all into the place that sharpens blades. Took the wire brush to the threads and gave it a few more squirts of W D 40. The nuts still didn't move. The phone rung and a friend recommended I take the whole deck to the repair shop before I broke something. That conversation lasted about 10 minutes. I was just about to give in and take the deck to the experts, but had to try it one last time. Put the socket on the nut, gave it a few good jerks, and much to my surprise the nuts broke free and the blades are off and on their way to get sharpen, and I learn a lesson. Take the blades off every year, even if they don't need sharpen.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Furnace issue.
Just a thought or two. It almost sounds like you have a standing pilot with a relight system. Funny downdrafts or such can blow out a pilot. Sometimes there electronic or thermo lockouts that keep some things from working. if things don't relight in a specified time.I would keep an eye on this it may show up again and maybe not if the pilot stays lit. - Original Message - From: Dan Rossi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: BlindHandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 10:33 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Furnace issue. Just an informative note more than a question. On Tuesday evening, Teresa and I arrived home from work. As we started to prepare dinner, Teresa mentioned that she was cold. I realized that it was a bit chilly in the house so I went over to the spiffy talking thermostat and punched the info button. It announced that the house temperature was 63 degrees and the thermostat was set to 69 degrees. That is a problem. I went to the basement and pulled the cover off the bottom of the furnace and carefully slid my hand in, feeling for the heat of the pilot light. Nothing. I also noticed that the igniter was going crazy clicking very rapidly. I couldn't remember the process for lighting the pilot so called Teresa down. She read the instructions off the side of the furnace which included: Set thermostat below ambient temperature Turn off power to the furnace Turn off the gas via the little nobby job on the furnace wait a few minutes. Turn nobby thing to pilot hold in button next to nobby thing and light the pilot with a match Continue holding button for one minute turn nobby thing to gas Turn power to the furnace back on. Since Teresa was hovering over me, I put her to work and had her stick the lit match in while I held the button. I'm pretty hairy and hair singes remarkably easily. *GRIN* The igniter was still clicking away rapidly so I was suspicious of the thermocouple but when I punched up the temp on the thermostat, the furnace kicked on no problem. The igniter remained clicking but all seemed OK. Teresa confirmed that the pilot was burning nice and blue. The furnace was cycling on and off without a hitch, so we went to bed. Next morning all still seemed fine except that the igniter stopped clicking like mad. Last evening we got home and the furnace was still doing fine. Not sure what caused the pilot to go out, but all looks fine for now. Later. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] The experience
the thing about servicing tractor mowers is its not a straight forward job as I've done so with a few machines in the past either for the field or on restoration jobs for selling machines from auctions etc. from servicing the engine itself to stripping off the cutter deck to sharpening and balancing blades to whatever it can be a challenge. I had the pleasure of restoring a ransomes autocertees which was a beauty of a ride on cylinder machine. it had 2 24 inch 12 blade cylinders with drives on each one directly set to the master engine, a gear to the front wheel drive and stearing to the back. and put it this way it was a machine left for dead. the engine had to be stripped top to bottom and the recoil starter had to be rebuilt from top to bottom, all bodywork had to be sand blasted or acid stripped and any damage filled with welding mix. when it came to dealing with the drive gear for the machine it was incredibly difficult dismounting the wheel rig as the bolts were left hand UNF threads. bad enough when they were saezed. so had to get the oxy acetylene and warm the rods up and slacken with a hammer tap and a heavy wrench set. gearing came out and was re oiled and greased up, casing blasted out and reset. nuts brushed with acid to strip the rust and bolt heads. left for about 10 mins. good as new. next job was the front blade rig, took the cylinders for re grinding. the guy I took them too was the guy who started me off with my merry addiction to all things petrol lol. he literally hugged these cylinders and said what the BLEEP are you doing with two ransomes auto cylinders? told him it was a restoration from an auction and I'm building her all the way from start to finish. so blades were done, reground the bar ways, set the rollers on the lathe for balancing and cleaning, jet feeding and oiling, rebuilt the bodies, mounted the blades, set the gear shafts, rebuilt the system and installed the engine which took about 2 hours to bring to life after grinding the piston chamber very gently, re seating the valves and cleaning the piston block out and mounting new piston seals on the piston head and balancing the crank. put a new magneto assembly on it and brought her back to life. gave her a re spray and drove her on a friend of mine's private land and put her to the test on the field. days later had sold it so yes it is possible for a blind guy like you or I to do something this grand and complex. just don't put your finger on the HT lead and clout the recoil start to test the magnetos unless you're 100% comfortable with the idea of getting a shock up your left arm. lew [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The New Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following Address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Furnace issue.
Why does your furnace have a pilot and an igniter? How does that work? I have an electronic igniter but that is because there is no pilot, the igniter lights the gas.

Just an informative note more than a question. On Tuesday evening, Teresa and I arrived home from work. As we started to prepare dinner, Teresa mentioned that she was cold. I realized that it was a bit chilly in the house so I went over to the spiffy talking thermostat and punched the info button. It announced that the house temperature was 63 degrees and the thermostat was set to 69 degrees. That is a problem. I went to the basement and pulled the cover off the bottom of the furnace and carefully slid my hand in, feeling for the heat of the pilot light. Nothing. I also noticed that the igniter was going crazy clicking very rapidly. I couldn't remember the process for lighting the pilot so called Teresa down. She read the instructions off the side of the furnace which included: Set thermostat below ambient temperature Turn off power to the furnace Turn off the gas via the little nobby job on the furnace wait a few minutes. Turn nobby thing to pilot hold in button next to nobby thing and light the pilot with a match Continue holding button for one minute turn nobby thing to gas Turn power to the furnace back on. Since Teresa was hovering over me, I put her to work and had her stick the lit match in while I held the button. I'm pretty hairy and hair singes remarkably easily. *GRIN* The igniter was still clicking away rapidly so I was suspicious of the thermocouple but when I punched up the temp on the thermostat, the furnace kicked on no problem. The igniter remained clicking but all seemed OK. Teresa confirmed that the pilot was burning nice and blue. The furnace was cycling on and off without a hitch, so we went to bed. Next morning all still seemed fine except that the igniter stopped clicking like mad. Last evening we got home and the furnace was still doing fine. Not sure what caused the pilot to go out, but all looks fine for now. Later. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] The experience
Hi, In case it helps to figure out which way to turn off a nut or bolt where reverse thread is expected, look at the direction of rotation and imagine that when the machine is working it would tighten the nut or bolt. You will turn the thread off in the direction the blade turns be it a saw or lawn mower or what ever. Point is that one would not want the nut to twist off under the use of the machine so it is designed to tighten if anything. Hope this helps. . Dale Leavens, Cochrane Ontario Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype DaleLeavens Come and meet Aurora, Nakita and Nanook at our polar bear habitat. - Original Message - From: rj [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Handyman blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 12:30 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] The experience About 4 years ago we sold our home in the city and moved to the country. Every since I have the pleasure of doing thing, I normally would not have to do. Yesterday was one of those days. After 4 years of my wife beating the blades on our tractor to death, I decided it was time to take the blades off the mower deck and get them sharpen. So off came the deck and a good cleaning was needed. So out came the wire brush, plastic putty knife and I went to work. Now to turn that hundred pound plus monstrosity over was a job in itself. Finely with the help of my wife, it was finally on its back. More cleaning was to be done. Than I found the nuts holding the three blades were larger than any socket or box wrench I had. Didn't want to chew up the nuts, so a trip to Harbor Freight was in order. The cheapest large socket set my wife seen was $30 without a breaker bar. I felt around and pulled out a 16 inch piece set that was way in the back of the shelve and ask her what it was. Here things started to get better. It was a $30 set marked down to $18. Found a 18 inch breaker bar for $9 and was on my way to remove the blades. I sought. I still couldn't break the nuts loose, nor could I figure out if the nuts were counter-clock-wise or not and my wife said she couldn't tell. So she got out the manual and said that I should put a wooden block right there. Well if the block had to go there, than the nut had to be turned that way. Clock wise. Now I knew I had it made and soon the blades would be removed. Wrong. Out came the WD 40 and still the nuts wouldn't move. I sought for sure I was going to have to take that whole deck, blades and all into the place that sharpens blades. Took the wire brush to the threads and gave it a few more squirts of W D 40. The nuts still didn't move. The phone rung and a friend recommended I take the whole deck to the repair shop before I broke something. That conversation lasted about 10 minutes. I was just about to give in and take the deck to the experts, but had to try it one last time. Put the socket on the nut, gave it a few good jerks, and much to my surprise the nuts broke free and the blades are off and on their way to get sharpen, and I learn a lesson. Take the blades off every year, even if they don't need sharpen.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] removing air from heating system
Rj, when you bought you home was it already a three zone system? I have heard of that but in the one very big old house we first had it was only a one zone but it could have been split into three as it was a 7 bedroom, three floor monster. You needed to own your own fuel company to heat the place.
